• USA Cricket has opened the registration for the 2024 under nineteen (U-19) Men’s National Championship, which specifically aims to unite the youth population from all areas of the country that is widely talented in cricket.
• The 90 matches and six weeks of the national women's domestic cricket season were played during USA Cricket's (USAC) 2024 Women's Intra-regional competition. Women and girls all around the nation were playing on the local circuit as the USA men's national team was taking part in the historic ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

The US Cricket Equipment Market Challenge:

High Costs of Quality Cricket Equipment – The major challenge faced by the top market companies is related to the high costs of quality cricket equipment. The equipment that is budget-friendly is not good in quality and has lower performance. On the other hand, the equipment that is high in quality is also high in price, and most of the enthusiasts can’t afford them, or it is difficult for them to manage to buy these tools. Poor-quality equipment is typically less expensive, so players on a budget must purchase it. In the long run, using such equipment lowers performance, discourages players from playing, and hinders the expansion of the cricket equipment industry. As a result, the US cricket equipment market is still being restrained since the costs of high-quality standard equipment, as defined by the Cricket Association, are often more and fall outside of the middle-class level.

The US Cricket Equipment Market Trend:

Customization and Premium Products Gaining Momentum – The concept of customized cricket gear from bats to the t-shirts that are now so popular is continuing to emerge. The target group of customers including children and youngsters-beginners and semiprofessionals, are ready to pay a premium price for the product that matches the individuated aesthetic choices. With intensifying competition, the players are opting for higher quality equipment from better quality material (for example English willow woods, specially cushioned additional protective wear, etc.) that can introduce greater efficacy in the field. Thus, the trend of customization and premium products is changing the market landscape in the US and is anticipated to augment the size & volume of the industry during the forecast period.
